Hey everyone!
Welcome to a brand new blog post! I thought that today I would talk to you about the limited edition Lush Body Sprays that have dropped as part of their Summer Treats range for the Summer.
In my last post, I focused on Lemony Flutter which Lush kindly sent me it to review on here (thank you Lush) so I have decided to focus on the rest of the range within this post. If you want to read all about my review and opinions on the brand new summer Lemony Flutter Body Spray then do read my last blog post.
All of the Body Sprays are priced at £25. If you want to grab any of the Body Sprays (including Lemony Flutter) that are listed below then run don’t walk to your local Lush store or online as these are only available during August!
Grape Soda
We all get a little bit thirsty in the Summer…
This is a brand new Body Spray from Lush and as the name says, the Spray takes inspiration from fruity soda.
This Body Spray contains Juniperberry Oil and Sweet Wild Orange Oil. This combination of oils creates a very fruity scent. To me, it reminds me of the Grape Fanta Cans of American Soda that you can get from American Candy Stores across the UK. This body spray also shares the same scent as the Big Squeeze Bath Bomb and Vampire Kisses Lip Scrub from Lush.
Honestly, this is a bit of a confusing scent for me. When I sprayed it in store, it took a couple of minutes to develop on my skin so I was unsure on what the smell was reminding me of or if there was much scent at all and then when it kicked in, I grew to enjoy the scent. I think I need to respray it in store to properly tell if I do enjoy it or not but from the dry down, it does remind me of the Fanta Grape Cans and enjoying a cold refreshing can on a hot Summers day. If you like your sweet scents then I think that you will adore this. If you adore Snow Fairy then I think that you will enjoy this scent as to me it does give off a Summery sort of sibling to Snow Fairy. If I was going to pair this alongside other products from Lush then I think I would pair it with Sultana Of Soap or anything The Comforter scented as the berry notes in both would compliment the body spray in my opinion.
Passion
One spray and this Body Spray will definitely add some passion to your life!
This body spray contains Lime, Litsea Cubeba and Brazilian Orange Oils. Honestly, this is Summer in a bottle to me. Bright and zingy!
When I sprayed it I instantly got that iconic Passion scent from Lush and I did say oh my god quite loudly in store when I sprayed this oops. When it settled on my skin, it did still smell of bright Passion Fruit but I did detect a slight creaminess to it. This may be due to the Litsea Cubeba? The creaminess to me added a bit of depth for the citrus to jump off and ensured that the citrus didn’t instantly flash off my skin which has happened previously with other citrus fragrances which is a shame because I love citrus scents! This body spray doesnt disappoint!
You could pair this with a plethora of items from Lush such as Passion Shower Gel or the Passion Bath Bomb, Sweet Wild Orange Hand Balm, Orange Scrub or Brightside Bubble Bar because well Orange and Passionfruit are beautiful companions scent wise. I did use Passion Body Spray the other day and I did pair it with Tropical Co-Mingle, Bongo Shower Jelly and Passion Shower Gel and oh my god I felt and smelt amazing!
Peaches
Who doesnt want to smell like a juicy ripe peach?
This body spray contains Sweet Orange, Buchu and Litsea Cubeba Oils, Olibanum Resinoid and Champaca Absolute.
If you remember the Lush X Super Mario Bros Movie Collaboration then you may remember the Princess Peach Body Spray, well she’s back with a brand new name and a glow up!
I did publish a blog post about the Mario Collab so if you want to read all about the previous version then click here.
This is very similar to Princess Peach but to my nose this is a little bit fruitier. The old version had a Watermelon note to me that was quite prominent when you first spray it whereas Peaches doesn’t so much. I recently picked up some Peach Hi-Chew’s whilst I was at an Asian Supermarket recently and they smell exactly like the spray!
I would pair this with Thermal Waves, Passionfruit Shower Gel, Peachy Bath Bomb, Brother Moon Bath Bomb and anything Rose Jam. I just think that Peach and Rose go beautifully together!
Space Girl
Time to feel like you’re off into orbit with this Body Spray!
This body spray contains Bergamot Oil., Grapefruit Oil and Almond Essential Oil. Space Girl reminds me of walking into a sweet shop and being able to smell all the sweets. Creamy. Fruity. Sugary. It does have a bit of a Pink Lemonade vibe too. I have enjoyed Space Girl in many iterations and this Body Spray reminds me of the Asteroid City collaboration Shower Gel that was scented in Space Girl the most. Fruity with a big blast of sweet Almond. I adore this scent and I can totally see why it is a part of the Summer Treats range! I would pair this with the Space Girl Barth Bomb that is a part of the I’m Back/Retro/Remind/Archive Wall and the old Very Very Frightening Shower Gel.
Sticky Dates
Sticky Dates Body Spray is back baby! I have done a in-depth blog post about the Sticky Dates Body Spray from when it was last released but I will give a quick sort of run down of this version. (Click here to read about the previous version of Sticky Dates Body Spray).
This body spray contains Carob Resinoid, Benzoin Resinoid in and Sandalwood Oil.
It’s sweet. Its gourmand, it smells like baked goods and is very much going to be an amazing body spray for when the weather gets a touch colder. I was a bit unsure on if the fragrance had been dialled down or changed but nope. This version packs a massive punch and lasts a long time on the skin.i tried the new version whilst I was out running errands in Leeds and I could still smell it by the time I was home and cleansing my face in the evening.
If you haven’t smelt Sticky Dates before then imagine a Sticky Toffee Pudding but in washable form! adore it and love that Lush are putting the scent into different formats! I think that alongside Turmeric Latte, this is the perfect gourmand scent for a special; occasion/date night.
I would pair this with the rest of the Sticky Dates range such as the Body Scrub, Shower Gel and Body Lotion that have been released earlier this year or maybe something like the Honey I Washed The Kids range. I would also be tempted to pair it with Cup O’ Coffee to create a sort of Sticky Toffee Latte situation.
Will you be picking up any of the Summer Treats Body Sprays? What’s your favourite Body Spray from Lush? Let me know down below!
